I remember being very confused why my BLM was expected to cast Fire III and Flare on Ifrit and occasionally Blizzard/Freeze on Shiva. There is no difference, elemental weaknesses, etc. If a player wants that nuance, go play BLU. Otherwise, we are playing a game where each ability is just potency and nothing else.

Samurai's got you beat right there. You can get a wooden katana in the gold Saucer and just build your kenki up to max and literally shinten spam poke your enemies to death with your samurai stick. xD
